Single PC as a member of the Scorched Hand

[mikeawmids]

I am considering running Mummys Mask for my son, converting the adventure to Savage Worlds. He would be the only player, operating with a team of NPCs. I was considering personalities for this team and then thought; why not use the Scorched Hand?

Spoiler:

The only think that would really change in the AP as written is that the group would fight Nebra-Khufre (or one of his undead minions) in the Temple of the Erudite Eye, and Velriana would not return as revenant in book 2.

Can anyone think of any other reasons this would not work, which I might have overlooked? I also hope this would help tie book 1 into book 2 a little better than would otherwise be the case.

Alternatively, I might just skip book 1 altogether and jump straight into the auction at the beginning of book 2 and tell the player that he and his group had previously taken part in the Grand Lottery and were now flogging their finds. Their seems to be precious little in the first module that the campaign will suffer for the loss of.
